·? (playing technique [Term not mentioned in available sources])

playing technique of an unidentified nature

No identical types known (yet).

Playing technique of an unidentified nature, mentioned by Sobieski, who fails to add specific details, though informing us that "It proved to be a quite characteristic technique, different from the bagpipe playing techniques of Wielkopolska [Greater Poland], because it relies on the skill to use przedęcie of the 1st and 2nd [i.e. the 2 lowest; ws] fingerholes"; Thus indicating that "overblowing" is involved, Sobieski adds that "It gives Kozioł melodies the proper specific phrases and melodic mannerisms, which - significantly - had a considerable influence on the view of melodic lines of folk songs sung in the region of the Kozioł" [i.e. Babimojsko (Lubuski), viz Babimost and surroundings; ws].
